Columbus Day Weekend



















Another 3 day weekend back to back with last weekend.  The weather was absolutely beautiful the entire time.  We managed to put up more deer fencing, get 3 sides of the garden sheds painted and started the makeover for the mud room.  Ceiling and crown moulding in the mud room got painted.  The cabinets get painted next, then new tile, wall paneling and wallpaper.  Big job for such a little space.  Atticus came with us again on his second weekend upstate.  He was great on the commute.  We are so used to such cat drama and he was absolutely quiet and perfect.  Sookie is content to stay home in the city.  What a difference a week makes with the trees.  Last weekend was peak for us up here and the leaves were gorgeous.  A week later and most of the leaves are already gone on our property.  We took a walk up in the back pasture to see the view with the leaves turning.  In the afternoon, once all the leaves are gone, you can watch the sun set over the western ridge lines from our backyard.  It was beautiful.  I love this time of year.  We had our furnace inspected and thank goodness we did - only to find out that the computer panel was burned out - after only 4 years?  We had to have it replaced and Dubben Brothers came and replaced it this morning.  Great timing because the evenings are really cool already.  It's supposed to be a very cold winter.  Tim made this amazing pot pie and we watched Brian DePalma movies back to back.  Atticus everywhere in the house like a little puppy running constantly and eating the ferns and shamrock plants in the window.  Very nice weekend.
